Honor announces the Honor Band 5 for under £30

HONOR today unveiled the HONOR Band 5, a stylish and practical accessory for those looking for a fitness tracker and smart band to improve their life during the day and the night. Boasting a 0.95” AMOLED Full-Colour touchscreen, 24-hour heart rate monitoring, multiple sports and fitness modes and eight customised watch faces, the HONOR Band 5 is available now for £29.99 at Amazon and will be available at Argos later this month with O2 and Asda coming soon.

24/7 Health Monitoring

Powered by the latest HUAWEI TruSeen 3.0 heart rate technology, the HONOR Band 5 provides more accurate, 24-hour real-time continuous heart rate monitoring to help users keep track of their health and fitness. The heart rate monitor also switches to an invisible light while you sleep, preventing night light interference while also featuring a heart rate alert which vibrates and flashes to alert users when their real-time heart rate exceeds the pre-set limits.

HONOR Band 5 is available in Classic Navy Blue, Meteorite Black and Dahlia Pink

The HONOR Band 5 also features TruSleep technology which automatically records light, deep and REM sleep and monitors users’ sleep quality. Supported by Huawei AI technology and certified by the Center for Dynamical Biomarkers at Harvard Medical School, TruSleep precisely identifies six common sleep disorders and offers more than 200 customised suggestions to improve sleep quality. Compared to previous-generation models, performance is enhanced with an accuracy of up to 96.3%.

HONOR Band 5 also features a full range of swimming tracking options and is water-resistant in depths of up to 50 meters. When swimming, Band 5 tracks the numbers of strokes, speed, distance, intervals and calories burnt, giving users a clear view of their progress. It also tracks a swimmer’s SWOLF score, a combination of stroke count and time spent in the water, to help swimmers improve their technique.

All-in-one notifications and long battery life

Equipped with a 0.95” AMOLED Full-Colour touchscreen, the HONOR Band 5’s screen resolution of 240x 120 pixels at 282 PPI is easy to read, even under direct sunlight. A single charge provides 14-days of normal usage.

When paired with a smartphone, the HONOR Band 5 also alerts users of incoming calls, SMS, email and SNS notifications. A remote-control function allows users to capture photos from both the rear and front cameras of the phone in a single click. When Bluetooth is activated, users are even able to locate the paired phone via the “Find phone” function.

Olivier Dobo, Marketing Director at HONOR UK, said “HONOR Band 5 provides the perfect mix of technology and style, meaning you can keep track of your day and night routines while still expressing your personality. By combining complete control of your notifications, a full suite of fitness tracking and better than ever sleep monitoring, Band 5 becomes the perfect accessory for any activity.”
